pan fried black pomfret with tomatoes
1 black pomfret (I got mine frozen from vietnamese grocery store), cleaned and wiped dry
1 tomato, cut into 8 wedges
1 inch piece of ginger, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 stalk of scallion
3-4 stalk of cilantro
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp ketchup
1/2 cup water
1 tsp salt (to taste)
5 -6 tbsp oil
1. Heat oil using medium high heat. Make sure pan is hot else the fish will stick. Gently, I mean really gently, lower fish into pan. Don't move the pan, don't do anything, and after 3 mins, lower the heat to medium. Leave the fish alone, don't try to move it. Let pan fry for 6 - 7 mins. and flip the fish. Once flipped, don't touch the fish. Let pan fry for another 6-7 mins or longer until fish is cooked. Remove fish and set a side.
2. Using the same pan, add a little bit more oil. Add ginger, garlic and tomatoes wedges for 3 mins.
3. Add sugar, ketchup and water. Stir and put a lid on the pan. Cook until tomato is soft. Add salt and lastly the scallion and cilantro. Turn off heat and pour over fish. Serve with rice.
